The Art Exhibition at c. F. C.

We had the pleasure a few days ago to see
the art exhibition at Central Female College,
and we are free to say that 1t was a surprise
to us. How such admirable work can be
produced by such young persons. and after so
short q course of instruction, seems almost
incredible. Much of this Is, of course, due to
the admirable methods of the teacher, Miss
Congdon.
The work of the pupils seems &c be yolum-
inous as we'll Is good.

Beside these young ladies above mentions
< meritorious work has been done by Mis-
Hattie Colbern, of Warrensburg, Miss Adj
: B. Moore, of Delaware, Ohio, and Mrs. Elm
Paige, st. Louis, Mo. The exhibits mention
ed do not constitute all of the work done b
I their authors, as 1t was impractical to Civ
D place to more than a portion.
Where there were so many deservIn
; things. it is hard t. particularize. Miss Car
rie Moore's work was uniformly good.
9 Miss Ivah l.. Young had done nothing bu
' make the portrait of her grandfather, Mr.
s John A. Mahan, the time and expense TO
J, her lessons would have been well bestow

. conscientious, had one of the best pieces O.
I wine glass, but they were as natural as pos
o sfble. Miss Rosegrant's portrait of he
e father was very good, as was Miss Kriehn
g of her mother. Miss Jennie WOodson La
three pictures of the seasons that were ais,
e worthy of especial mention. Indeed thi

dwell on each of the pictures that was de

e 1t would hardly be fair to dismiss the sub

ing the pictures which set them off t u, the be.
It advantage.
